Product Description
Product Description
In THE ART OF LIVING CONSCIOUSLY, Nathaniel Branden enters new territory, exploring the practice of mindfulness and its power to influence our intentions, actions, values, and goals. Becoming more conscious of ourselves and the world around us in any situation, he argues, opens our eyes to the possibilites and options we otherwise miss. Illuminating the positive action of mindfulness on our careers, our search for romantic love, and our pursuit of personal and spiritual development, Branden encourages readers to rethink their beliefs about everyday activities, morality, mortality, and God. Like his groundbreaking work on self-esteem, Branden's insights into living consciously provide essential guidelines for making the most of ourselves in every aspect of our lives.

Format:Hardcover
In the early seventies just after the publication of The Psychology of Self-Esteem, I went to the library looking for other books on the subject. I found only one other book with self-esteem in its title. Over the years, I've watched closely as the word self-esteem has exploded into American culture, and has become as American as the proverbial apple pie, often with undercurrents of confusion and ignorance. Yet, with Nathaniel Branden, the innovator of the whole movement, the definition has always been the same; what has changed is his ever-increasing knowledge and awareness of the subject, much of which he shares In The Art Of Living Consciously. For those interested in the role of consciousness in improving one's life and one's self esteem -- that one is competent to know one's world, and worthy of happiness -- this will be the book for you. Once again, Nathaniel offers up a treasure chest of personal examples, as well as the examples of his clients. Also, offered is a facinating look into the world of ¨spirituality¨ as seen through the eyes of Mr. Rationality. Here, again, is another powerful and entertaining book from the man who launched the term into public discussion.

Starting from the solid base of objectivist rationality, Mr Branden explains the meaning of our most fundamental moral responsibility, which is to live consciously. It also is the only way to develop a consistent , free-of-contradictions view of ourselves and the context in which we seek to live. For a broader treatment you need to dig deep into the Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, for sharper focus he has given us two: one on accepting responsibility and his latest on sustaining an active consciousness. A necessary conversation with yourself is what ensues in deciding the meaning to you. I doubt you can have anything better to do.

Mr. Branden book is the best self-help book i ever read. This book issues awareness as a tool to improve your self-esteem and therefore your mental health. Mr. Branden is adressing several topics from parenting to spirituality. He clears misconceptions and reveals the true meaning of awareness. Mr. Branden holds office in Los Angeles. He is therefore out of reach for me for actual therapy. His books are the best next thing i guess.
